TV in the United States

In the last few days we have learned a lot about how traditional TV in the US works. Let's summarize.

There are major "networks" (CBS, NBC, ABC). They produce "network programming", shows and national news and sports, and distribute it through local stations called "network affiliates" owned by companies like Sinclair and Nexstar. Local affiliates pay the networks for the programming and also make money inserting local ads. Networks make money running network ads.
